Order Behaviors

• All Market and Limit orders are sent directly for handling to the Floor Specialist. Because this is a specialist system and not a pure electronic system, delays may occur in areas such as in posting improvements to the bid/offer and Day orders reported as Out at the end of the session.
• Stop Market Orders are initially routed to our stop server until triggered. Once triggered, an order routed to SuperDOT will behave as a Market order.
• Stop Limit Orders are initially routed to our stop server until triggered. Once triggered, an order routed to SuperDOT will behave as a Limit order.
• The floor specialist will make every effort to cross your OPG order at the opening print once the stock opens for trading on the primary market session. Once the opening cross is finished, any unfilled shares will be canceled (expired).
